TO AMEND THE LAW CONCERNING THE REDEMPTION OF A TAX-DELINQUENT PARCEL; AND TO EXEMPT DISABLED VETERANS FROM CERTAIN PENALTIES WHEN REDEEMING A TAX-DELINQUENT PARCEL.

HB 1400 (now Act 259) exempts disabled veterans from certain penalties when redeeming tax-delinquent property. Specifically, it removes late fees and interest charges that typically apply when owners pay overdue property taxes to reclaim a parcel. This change directly affects disabled veterans who own property with unpaid taxes, making it easier for them to regain ownership without extra costs. The law amends existing redemption procedures to explicitly exclude disabled veterans from penalty calculations. The bill was enacted on March 12, 2025, after passing both chambers of the legislature.
